Launching online self-learning resources

The Ecosynergy
group is launching a free self-development course aimed at youth from 16 to 30
yrs and taught by Virtual Peer Role Models. Positive
young role models tell on camera how they successfully overcame the range
of challenges they encountered throughout teen years. The real-life
problem-solving examples combine into punchy and authentic messages. We piloted
this resource with a target audience who reported enjoying learning from their
peers how they built resilience in the face of adversity to shape and follow
their dream careers.

This Self-learning course is divided into 4 topics: Success factors, Choosing the right mates, Career development and Making a difference in others people’s lives. Educators and parents – check it and share!

The
learning materials were designed from an applied research project on
Storytelling for Impact. These stories empower New Zealand youth in developing
goals to help them make effective personal and professional decisions whilst
raising self-confidence and self-esteem.
